Map Challenge

Can You Make A Better Map?

Calling all PhotoShop wizkids and designers, we have a request: Help us improve our Assassin's Creed 3 interactive maps! Bob-IGN did his best to stitch together a map, but ultimately he's none too happy with his limited map-making abilities. Do you think you can make a better, higher-quality map? If we like it, we'll scrap our own and feature yours on this very wiki!

If you don't have the design chops for map-making and want to help out, our Contributor Challenge is right up your alley as well, where you can drop AC3-related wisdom and get cool stuff for doing so.

How to Enter

Zip up your maps and submit your original, non-stolen entries to community@ign.com with the subject "Assassin's Creed 3 Map Challenge." We can't guarantee we will be able to respond to all, but we'll certainly be looking over the submissions to determine the best one.

Submissions will be taken between November 2, 2012 until December 10, 2012 11:59PM Pacific Time.

Judging Criteria

Original maps designed by you only.

High-quality image.

Closest resemblance to in-game maps.

Clean and legible lines.

Can be made from screenshots, be hand-drawn, or a combination of the two.

On-screen UI removed as best as possible (clone stamp is your friend)

What's In it For Me?

The winner will get to have his or her map featured on this very IGN wiki (with due credit) PLUS a $75 Amazon Gift Card.

Who Is Eligible?

Residents of the continental United States plus Hawaii and Alaska and Canada (excluding Quebec). While we would love to include our international contributors, international laws don't make it very feasible for us.

The Map Challenge winner will be notified via e-mail and announced on the blog here.
